here-is-the driver for GF FX 5200 series-works with W7 32-bit

well whenever i plug the card in and then the monitor, the monitor does not do anything... that is the main problem

Try having a monitor plugged into the motherboard with the card also in.

Then go to bios and set AGP for the initial display. Save.

Turn off pc. Plug monitor into card instead now. Turn on pc and boot to Windows.

that doesn't work... i have had a monitor plugged in both and nothing, had one plugged in one and nothing.. i did change the displays to AGP but it didn't make a difference the only way i can get my monitor to work is without the card plugged in at all

The card itself could be no good.

Anyhow, even though the card would be better than the onboard SiS graphics, it's not going to make a world of a difference in anything you do, performance-wise.

Very much recommend a completely new machine to run Windows 7.

ok i will just see if i can get a new card or something

Hello TorrentG,

I follow your useful instructions to update the driver of the GeForce FX 5200.

The driver is installed - I can see it in the device manager but it is not running as the numeric signature is not recognised.

Can you help ?

Thanks in advance

If it is showing in the device manager as installed well, then it is.

I have no idea what you mean about a numeric signature. Can you please explain your issue in greater and better detail?

32 or 64 bit?

Hello,

It is a 32 bit version.

When you are in the device manager - properties of the graphical card - 2nd tab driver - 4th line (I translate from the french) : Numeric signature : non signed numerically

For me it is linked to the nv_disp file. I have 2 files : the one modified (inf) that I copy in the folder and helps me to install the driver - a second one from type catalog security (I opened it and there is a lot of information concerning numerical certication).

Hope it is clearer.

That's not a problem. I have the same thing. Enjoy.

I'd like to share your happiness ;-))

But I get on the genera tab of the properties an error message that Windows stopped the devive (error 43).
When I try to modified the display resolution, the device shown is "default screen" and in the advanced properties the nvidia graphic card is not displayed only generic.

Any idea ?
